Glucoamylase

Molecular classification: Enzyme, Glycoside hydrolase

Overview

Glucoamylase is an exo-acting enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch and related polysaccharides by cleaving glucose units from the non-reducing ends. It is crucial for the digestion of carbohydrates and has significant industrial applications in food processing, beverage production, and biofuel production.

Other names: Glucan 1,4-α-glucosidaseAmyloglucosidase (AMG)

Mechanism of action

Catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch and related polysaccharides by cleaving glucose units from the non-reducing ends.

Biological functions
